Twinings - Lady Grey Zesty, Orange & Bright - 80 Tea Bags

I prefer this (UK) over the US version. Flavor is good and tastes like Lady Grey.

I like this black box Lady Grey tea almost as much as the purple box (U.K. version) Earl Grey tea. This one is just a little more citrusy than EG but is still mild when steeped 2 minutes per directions. Apparently this 100-count black box Lady Grey is the version sold in the U.K. The tea bags don't have a string or tag and are not individually wrapped. There are two foil packs of 50 bags each in the box. See photo for differences. Directions say steep for 2 or 3 minutes. The gold box version is individually wrapped, has a string and tag on each double-sided tea bag, and doesn't seem to contain quite as much tea in each bag as the black box version. Apparently the gold box LG is the version meant for sale in the U.S. I have both and much prefer the black box U.K. version. The gold box says to steep for 3 minutes, so maybe that is part of the difference, but it seems stronger and more lemony with a slightly bitter aftertaste that I don't like. It would be helpful if the product pages included information on which version each tea is. The Twinings Earl Grey is sold in two versions, too, and I like the U.K. purple box version of it better as well.

Great tasting tea.

Excelente

I must be an uncultured swine, because I just really like the USA version of Lady Grey better. USA Lady Grey tastes sweeter and fruitier than this one, although I wish that tea came in a big 100 pack like this. It’s more convenient that these tea bags are wrapped in packs of 50; now that I’m drinking the individually-wrapped tea again, I miss the bulk packaging. I’m glad I tried this, and I did enjoy it, but I’ll stick with the domestic brew.

Good tea.

My favorite tea for many years now has been Twinings Lady Grey purchased either at our local grocery store here in the USA or ordered on Amazon, and brewed each morning in a large teapot. For awhile I even blended my own version of Lady Grey with bulk black tea, infused essential oils, and dried orange and lemon peels. Last year I started using bulk Earl Grey tea along with two Lady Grey tea bags in the teapot, which has been very satisfactory. Last October I ordered a box of 100 of this Lady Grey from the UK, but received a smashed box of 100 foiled LG tea bags from the USA. After reading so many positive comments about the UK variety, I was disappointed but still welcomed 100 more tea bags of what I was used to. I tried again in December to get a box of 100 of this UK Lady Grey. It took a little longer to get here and was packed in a sturdy box, but I was sent a box of 80, not 100. All of this effort to discover I'm not really a fan of the UK tea, so probably just as well I only got 80! The UK tea tastes completely different than the USA version, with more a vanilla flavor and no hint of zesty orange. I'm sticking with the USA Lady Grey or my own blends.

Wonderful flavor

数年前にイギリスの友人からお土産で頂き あまりの美味しさにびっくりしました。 それからはもっぱらこの紅茶ばかりです。 イングリッシュブレンドは、日本の物とは比べ物にならない位風味も、薫りもしっかりして豊かな味です。 正直国内の紅茶は味も香りも薄くておいしくありません。なぜこんなに味が違うのかと、よく調べたらイギリスの茶葉と国内の茶葉では全く違うのだそうです。 一時はこの紅茶が日本に入ってこなくなり販売再開までかなり待ちました。 又美味しい紅茶が飲めるようになって良かったです。 一部のレビューに賞味期限まで１ヶ月しかないものだった…というのがありましたが、このショップはきちんと 賞味期限を確認し、長いものを送ってくれました。

This is a great tea - not nearly well-known enough.

爽やかなオレンジの香りで美味しいです。 ほぼ毎日飲んでます。 日本版のLadyGrayと比べると、自分は日本版の方が好きな香りでした。ラベルの青とオレンジの違いくらい違うかも？

Excellent product, excellent service...

awesome
